I just changed my old E30 325i with an E36 , 316i Cupe that has a 325TD engine upgraded to a 325TDS in 98. Nice car , pulls like a horse and I am allready loving it after 3 weeks.
Since I got the car I have never tested the real capabilities of the engine on the highway as there was always bad weather but today was sunny and I took it for a trip.
In the 3rd gear at 5000 rpm the car puls nice but I change the 4'th at 5000 again and then go in 5'th gear ... everything smooth still pulling.... at 210 km/h and at 4500 rpm the car stops pulling and I can feel the fuel is being cut or something ... so that's it.... 210 .. no more :( and I can feel the car will still go as it is as 4500 rmp.
Question is , is there a speed limit on the computer or is something else ?? The car was tuned and as I can see from the papers the engine has the following properties : M51 Diesel engine from a 325TD Chip tuning built up to a TDS. The car has 184 HP / 4343 RPM and 345 Nm / 3327 RPM.
So the question is ... it is computer limited speed or something else ?
